Called to Serve in the Washington Spokane Mission

"Come, Thou fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace, Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. While the hope of endless glory Fills my heart with joy and love, Teach me ever to adore Thee, May I still Thy goodness prove."

Back In The Game!

Hi Everyone!

I'm so excited to be back in the mission field! It's been such a crazy week. I barely made the flight switch! (note from Mom and Dad: She had to fly from SLC to Seattle, and had
just a few minutes to make her connecting flight from Seattle to Spokane). I was the last one on the plane and had to
run and we took off about two minutes after I boarded. My luggage didn't make the flight though and
we had to have it delivered to my house about four hours later. ;) But
I'm here so that's what matters! I
absolutely love missionary work! I'm
serving in Mead, Washington in the Green Bluff ward! My companion is Sister Cami Paget. She graduated the same year that I did and
went to Viewmont High School! She's amazing. We live on a strawberry farm with a few emus! Random animals, I know. :) Our
area is so beautiful! I absolutely love
the area. It's the prettiest place in
the entire world. Our area is pretty
big, and it’s mostly hills, farms, and orchards, with some homes and
communities here and there. Mom and Dad,
if we ever win the lottery we should totally buy a cabin in the area. I love our investigators a ton. We are going to be having a baptism at the end
of this transfer! It's for this older
couple named the Sowards who have been investigating the church for two years
now! It's been so much fun planning
their baptism. We got to go to the
temple today so today is our P-day instead. :) I
missed all of the Sisters here so much and it's been so great to see them
again! :D We also got lost the other day
and we found ZONKEYS! Zebras and donkeys
mixed. They have the strangest animals
on the farms up here! I've been feeling
really good and the ward here has been great about feeding us with all of my
diet restrictions!

Love you all!

(ps: it's so great to
be able to call myself Sister again! :) )
